Canada General Service Medal (1866, 1870)

Riflemen who were awarded the Canada General Service Medal for the Fenian Raids 1866 have a number and a link to the Library and Archives Canada database relating to the application documents submitted by the individual regiments. Those who didn’t apply for the medal, including those who died before the government decided to award them 33 years later in 1899, did not receive the medal.

Those Riflemen who have biographical pages of their own are highlighted in RED.

The last two columns list the Company they belonged to, (when known), if they were killed in action, died of wounds, died of illness attributable to service, (sometimes over a year later), were wounded in action and other relevant information.
